Had a good time tonight, but man - too many people sound like they are sitting on their mics.

Hey Cheapy, have you unlocked the health packs yet? I couldn't tell!!

dude, you called for Medic like every 5 seconds, and were hostile about it. did you ever thank anyone that risked thier own life and limb to heal you?

Really? I didn't know that.

I had some fun last night. I manged to reach the rank of Major and unlock the repair ability for the the engineer. But I must say that my favorite part of last night was my assassination kill in Radec Academy. I found the VIP sitting in a corner and threw a grenade at him.

Frackin hilarious!

That was a lot of fun! Somehow, I got really excited throwing around the health packs. I like that they recharge pretty fast so I can be generous. Made Captain today...thanks everyone!

I had a lot of fun yesterday ^^. I only had the game for 1 day but I think I didn't do too bad. The Cagcast game night was a great idea to bring the community together. Keep it up ^^.

ARGH!!! Now I REALLY wish I would've played last night!!!

Was I the only one last night losing my mind over the amount of noise coming through my headset? Feedback, squealing and people's kids. Is it too difficult for people to just mute up when they play?

This was the first time I really played on-line with my PS3 and was just shocked at how migraine inducing the chatter was. I understand having 32 people in a room can get pretty loud, but it's not like many people were actually talking - most were just farting into their mics.

Perhaps I'm just too used to Xbox Live. Sure, matches are filled with racists and homophobes on Xbox Live, but at least I can hear their insults clear.

He was like that the whole night...

"Oh Come on! Just get him! You Guys let him get away"
"Oh Come on Heal Me! Somone get me up! How could you let me Die!"
"AGDJHJFHSAJSGSHGAFGSKGFSK Oh Come on! I hate this game!"

:p I did stop saving him after round 5 because he just kept blaming everyone for everything. But He was the only one I could really hear all night.

Agreed!

I could not understand what most people were saying. I heard people I helped up say "Why Thank you" but I only new it was directed at me because I just had picked them up. I kind of wish squad chatter was locked to your squad only. Like you said to much garbage.

I also don't like any sound quality out of mics on a PS3. I have the official Sony one but I still have such a hard time making out what others are saying. Wonder how the Turtle Beach X4s are.

I never really heard him complaining. But alot of the time I would be hanging back to stop the enemy from delivering the speaker or guarding a capture point. So I spent atleast 2 or 3 round hanging back. And when I was around with allies it was usal pretty chatioc...

I own the official PS3 headset as well and I can hear most people fine. There always seem to be one or two people I have trouble hearing. But I guessing it could be a problem on their end.

I hear it, I just hear to much I guess. When ever I mute my mic it annoys me because the constant beeping is so loud and about every 10 seconds. I would factor that into why no people don't mute there Mics. The PS3 mics just may not cancel out background noise to well.

It honestly varies by game, since voice chat is handled by each dev individually (It's not like 360 where voice chat code is already provided, developers have to write their own on PS3). Most games that come from SCEE (like MotorStorm: PR, KZ2, LBP, etc.) tend to not have very good voice chat, while games that come from SCEA usually (like R2, Warhawk (as long as a good headset is used that doesn't pick up tons of noise), and so on) have very good voice chat. The game we were in was a tad laggy, which hurts a little too. Sometimes, like for games by Namco Bandai, they are designed around Japanese internet speed, which leads to weird voice chat or more lag in NA.

Also, to have the best voicechat quality on PS3, you usually have to some port forwarding/open the dmz on the local IP your PS3 is set to (or else voice communication may be limited). Especially if someone has a Type 3 NAT, their voice may sound fuzzed up.

I'd roughly say a small percentage of mics used on PS3 have a mute button, and some bluetooth headsets pick up a lot of background noise. That is why I recommend most people keep their TV down.

Pretty interesting website integration this game has, most notably the battle replay. Here's the match on Salamun Market.

Yes, I did, and I do, but in the later rounds when I wasn't calling for a medic (when you weren't there) right as I was pressing the X button to respawn someone just came over and respawns me when I have no ammo and a long time before a Bot or a Turret could be built.

That's where I was getting frustrated, and it didn't just happen to me, either.

It was great fun playing with you guys over the weekend. Can't wait for the next game night!
